From three sites, the earliest planted in 1972. Whole-cluster-pressed and aged in oval Austrian foudres (1,000 litres) for 11 months. A subdued nose, but hints of what is to come in ripe and rich apricots and apples. Similar on the palate in its quietness of flavour. Still, generously textured and with tremendous freshness, and some salinity on the finish.

Damascene is a seriously exciting new find in South Africa. Their maiden vintage was 2018 and we were blown away by the results. 2019, their second vintage was sold out on release.
The highly acclaimed Jean Smit, previously winemaker at Boekenhoutskloof, has teamed up with David Curl, former owner of Bordeaux’s Chateau Gaby.
Their goal is to explore all across the South African winelands in search of exceptional sites. Sites that deliver an important moment of insight, and hence the name of the project. A Damascene moment of clarity, where we can all understand the greatness of these small, prized plots.
The vineyards are old and well established but small, so each of these brilliant wines is only released in very small quantities. We urge you to catch them while you can.
